Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel fasteners of the same grade (304 or higher) or fasteners specifically rated for use with 304 stainless steel.
Inadequate support leading to bowing or deformation under load.Design and implement a support structure that adequately distributes the weight and stresses across the entire surface of the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment fabrication
